Biography
Timur Ovchinnikov was born in the Russian SFSR, Soviet Union to a Russian father and a Tatar mother, and he became involved with the Russian Mafia as a young man. Ovchinnikov became the bodyguard and right-hand man of Ray Bulgarin, and Ovchinnikov and Bulgarin became close friends, often playing rock music together. In 2008, Ovchinnikov accompanied Bulgarin to New York City when Bulgarin decided to expand his business interests, and Bulgarin and Ovchinnikov stayed at Bulgarin's sister Galina's home in Forest Hills, Queens. Bulgarin would sent Ovchinnikov and associate Luis Fernando Lopez on several jobs to build his power, including the 2008 Yorkville parking garage ambush and the murder of Marki Ashvili, and his violent and pragmatic demeanor led to Lopez growing to resent him. After Bulgarin betrayed Lopez, Lopez tracked Ovchinnikov and an army of Bulgarin crime family enforcers to the Astroland amusement park on Coney Island, Brooklyn, and he engaged in a shootout with the Russian mobsters. Ovchinnikov taunted Lopez, telling him that Bulgarin was escaping and plotting to kill him, and Lopez executed Ovchinnikov.
